In his first State of the Union address, President Donald Trump briefly discussed environmental issues by claiming his administration has cut more regulations "than any administration in the history of our country" — including those aimed at a so-called "war on American energy" and "beautiful, clean coal."

Trump used Tuesday night to tout the administration's legislative achievements, such as tax reform, and to harp on hallmark campaign promises, such as more domestic manufacturing jobs and increased border security.

His brief remarks on the environment focused more on the coal industry than on the changing climate.

"In our drive to make Washington accountable, we have eliminated more regulations in our first year than any administration in history," he said. "We have ended the war on American energy and we have ended the war on beautiful, clean coal. We are now very proudly an exporter of energy to the world."

In a statement Tuesday night, Center for Western Priorities Executive Director Jennifer Rokala criticized Trump's address as a way to "sugar coat his administration's attack on America's parks and public lands."

"While there are few details, it appears the White House is prepared to sell off American public lands to pay for this infrastructure plan and gut environmental safeguards to push projects through," the statement says. "Our public lands need real investments, not a scheme that benefits the president’s developer friends while starving, then selling out America’s crown jewels."
